On March 6, 1869, Dmitri Mendeleev presented the first periodic table of the elements to the Russian Chemical Society. The periodic table is a graphic representation of groupings of chemical elements sharing similar properties. It had a revolutionary impact on both chemistry and physics.

Also on March 6, in 1912 the Italians allegedly became the first to use "airships" (not balloons) in war, dropping bombs on Turkish troops from Didigibles. Dirigibles differ from mere balloons in that they are self powered and can be steered, while a balloon, unless tethered and hence stationary, simply drifts with the wind, contrary to certain recent allegations. Tethered balloons hadd been used for observations well before that date, but they aren't considered to be "airships".

Today is the Day of the Righteous in Europe

The European Day of the Righteous was established on 6 March to commemorate all those who stood up against totalitarianisms and crimes against humanity, who fought for life and dignity of other people. The term "righteous" is in this case understood in a broader meaning, not limited only to those who risked their lives helping Jews during the Holocaust. The day was established by the European Parliament in 2012.

Today is also Dentist's Day and Dress Day, so by all means, floss, brush and dress today.
